Pirates Into the Navy

The aroma of grilled fish filled the warship as it cut through the waves. Fenbudi, who had just been demoted to a third-class private, swallowed and looked away from the two people talking on the deck.Following the aroma, he found that the alluring smell came from the kitchen on the second floor, where the chef Yuval wearing a top hat was busy.

There are new guests on the warship today.Generally speaking, on Colonel Hina's warship, the so-called guests are pirates who have been locked up with railings by the colonel and unable to move, and are about to be taken to Judiciary Island for trial. These pirates do not deserve to eat anything good.But this time it seemed that the guests were real guests, and the colonel specially ordered them to be treated well.

Colonel Hina loves sweets, so Yuval's specialty is also all kinds of desserts, but the person on board today is a young male officer who is probably also a carnivore.The chef looked at the dazzling array of ingredients in front of him. Suddenly, he spotted the squid hiding in the corner and had an idea in his mind.

The whole body of this squid is a rare light blue, like the sea under the sun, glowing with sparkling water.Yuval lifted it up with one hand. The squid's long arms flapped randomly in the air, and its big compound eyes were full of panic.

The more peculiar the creature is, the more delicious it tastes. Yuval nodded with satisfaction, and today’s main dish was decided to be roasted squid seeds.

The grilled fish was ready, and the chef had just cleaned the squid seeds. Private Jango sneaked into the kitchen.

"Yuval, your skills are getting better and better." Zan raised his nose and secretly took out a bag of sea salt from his arms.

"That's natural, what do you want to do?" The chef stared at the hypnotist with heart-shaped eyes in front of him warily.

"The guest told me just now that he has a strong taste and asked me to tell you to add more salt. No, I brought the salt in for you."

"How can any normal person eat so much salt?" Yuval was furious, "You kid, don't criticize my cooking, get out of here."

"Don't be so open-minded. It's fine if you add a little salt, just add a little."

Fenbudi was speechless as he watched the two people fighting in the kitchen. It was childish. Isn't it because there was a young and handsome male officer on the ship?

He thought of the days when he was a captain, the restaurant on the sea, the same handsome man, the same charming food, but there was one missing beauty who was worthy of him. Fenbudi looked at Hina lovingly and found that he My sweetheart is having a very happy chat with the pretty girl.

What kind of salt should be added to the food? Fenbudi's iron fist makes a banging sound and is directly poisoned.

"So, you and Catherine have known each other for a long time." Hina blew out smoke rings with a lazy and elegant movement.

"The timing is right. You joined the special operations force directly under the World Government, while Catherine joined the Navy at the same time as me. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, you two were able to serve the government together. What a fate. It’s unpredictable.”

"Yes," Al sighed, "I didn't expect that she would also become a navy, and I was shocked when I met Sister Catherine in Kent Town."

"So, the nostalgia is over," Hina looked at Al, "Why did you specifically ask Xiao Lin to call me here? I have been classmates with her for so many years and have never seen each other since graduation. If it is not a very urgent matter, She won’t take the initiative to contact me.”

"You also know that she is a bit," Hinai paused, "autistic. When she was training, Catherine did not want to have contact with others. Over the past few years, there were no more than three people who could be considered her friends. "

Hina stared into Al's eyes: "Therefore, Hina is curious about your reasons."

Al took a deep breath, unable to hide the gratitude on his face. He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and said seriously.

"Of course I know this. If I didn't urgently need your help, Colonel, I wouldn't bother Sister Catherine."

"Does Colonel Hina know about dancing fans?"

"Just call me Hina." Hina was very satisfied with Al's reaction. She took a sip of lemon tea and said slowly: "Of course I know that this kind of thing can accelerate the formation of rain clouds. It was once invented by a certain country. As a tool for praying for rain.”

"But dancing powder has almost intolerable side effects. After use, this powder will absorb the clouds in the area near it, resulting in that except where the dancing powder is used, not a drop of rain will fall in the area around it, so it is known to the world Banned by the government. According to legend, the name Dancing Powder came from the person who invented it and danced happily after seeing its remarkable effects. It’s really ironic when you think about it.”

"That's right." Al nodded, "You have been patrolling around Alabasta these days, so you should know the current situation in this country."

"As expected of a member of the Special Operations Force, although this is no secret." Hina sighed.

"It's miserable. It's terrible. There is no water in 90 places in the entire country. Except for the remaining oases and the rainy land where Crocodile is located, only the royal capital Albana still has rainfall. Now the kingdom is in chaos, and ordinary people Being caught between the royal army and the rebels is miserable.”

"You suspect that someone used dancing powder in the capital to prevent any rain in other parts of Albastan."

"Not a suspicion, but a certainty." Al said with a serious face, "According to the government's investigation, two years ago, a batch of dancing powder shipped to the royal capital of Albana appeared in Rapeseed, the southern port of Albastan. The transporter claimed that these The dancing powder must be sent to King Kobra. Combined with the fact that only Albana has received rainfall in the past two years, we have every reason to suspect that King Kobra violated the regulations and used the dancing powder privately."

"Really?" Hina put out the cigarette and thought thoughtfully, "Thinking about it, there is really only one possibility. King Kobra would not hesitate to let his people die of thirst just for the sake of enjoyment... "

"Do you have any other opinions? I would like to hear Hina's opinion." Al said in a confident but still modest tone.

"I don't think so. I just think that if this is the case, then the people of Alabasta are really stupid." She cast her gaze towards the sea.

"Do you know about the rebels?" Hina asked.

"I have some understanding, but not comprehensively. I don't know how it is different from the Revolutionary Army."

"The purpose of the revolutionary army is mostly to overthrow the rule of the kingdom, but I think the rebel army is just the opposite. They want to protect Kobra." Hina said hesitantly.

"They clearly had the numerical advantage but did not take the initiative to attack. In the face of sporadic offensives, the King's Army never resisted. It was as if they were trying to show off to the government to let the World Government understand that Alabasta's problems would be solved by themselves."

"I once met several civilians who suffered from heat stroke. When they woke up, they didn't complain about the king at all. In their mouths, Kobra was a good king who loved his people like a son. There must be something hidden behind the rain and dancing fans. . Even within the rebels, the call for the king to explain clearly far outweighs the call for the king to step down."

Hina took a breath and her expression relaxed a lot: "However, no matter what I say, it is just my personal opinion. Since the government has decided to send you here, it is up to you to go to Alabasta and see it yourself. what is going on."

Al was a little surprised. This female officer, who had a small role in the original work, had extraordinary powers of observation. She could judge the situation to such an extent based on only fragmentary information. It should not be underestimated.

"You still haven't told Hina what help you want me to do." Before Hina could finish her words, the flattering voices of Zangao and Fenbudi came from behind.

"Miss Hina~This is a dessert prepared for you."

"Miss Hina, the ingredients for this cuttlefish seed roasting are the ones I fished out yesterday."

"Eat first." Hina ordered, and Jango immediately rushed forward and cleared the table with the ashtray.

This Squid Roe Roast Ale looked at the dish in front of him, the blue fish roe. He looked at Hina who was eating deliciously and hesitated to speak.

It should be fine, but before he picked up the chopsticks, he heard a sound coming from below the sea.

Sure enough, Al put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly at Hina's confused eyes.

"This kind of squid has a protective mother."

"Come on, Colonel, there is movement on the sea." Not long after, the navy officer responsible for guarding the surrounding area shouted loudly.Hina followed Al to the bow of the boat, with an uneaten fish roe still left in her mouth.

"What does it mean to protect one's shortcomings?" As soon as Hina finished speaking, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of the warship to answer her question. The splashing water fell from the sky like a waterfall. Al stood in front of Hina, and the rest of the navy was soaked in the water.

Al looked at the giant squid in front of him, and it was staring at Hina. Anger burned in its eyes, and its overwhelming momentum made the marines' legs tremble.

Al stroked the wooden sword on his waist. The so-called protection means that he will cause trouble for you.
